Please everyone stick to the rules as laid out by the government for the COVID 19 lockdown. We are at day four and already I have witnessed neighbours doing Trademe furniture pick ups, one dodgey 'pop up' store in someones home garage selling wine and other stuff, people standing talking a foot apart in driveways chatting on their walks, congregations of people chatting outside the dairy and people with many visitors coming and going. Please don't hesitate to provide details to NHCCSelfIsolation@health.govt.nz or forms.police.govt.nz...

Being afraid of covid-19 is a normal healthy human reaction but not to the point of any paranoia. A disease which in a few weeks has infected over six million people and killed nearly 400,000 should be a cause for concern. It is that concern, call it fear if you wish, which has brought together all the brains to figure out how to stop it. It is that concern that now drives the world's best scientists to evolve a vaccine some of which are now being tested.
I find it somewhat disturbing that a few people appear to rubbish New Zealand's attempts to protect us from it.
I would urge such people to learn that it needs only one (ONE) infected person among a crowd to initiate a whole new wave of multiple infections. The ease with which it spreads and the variable but often long incubation period make those lockdowns essential. To rubbish our NZ success and the plans of people who really do know what they are talking about is, quite frankly, not intelligent. It is the people that won't listen that I fear far more than covid-19 itself for they will be the spreaders of it. Let's try and make the App for tracing people work as intended. It could make all the difference if an infected person gets among us. Accept the challenge, let's fix it.

Kia ora Auckland, it's time to dust off that old camera, get out and about and show the rest of your neighbours your favourite, treasured spots in your region. It could be an awesome view, the shy wildlife or even the old buildings that are wanting their stories to be told.
